GME Contract Starting Dates - Reminder
Date: February 6, 2006
To: GME Program Directors
From: Cathy Canfield-Jepson
This is a reminder of an issue that we discuss periodically at GMEC meetings, and to which all have agreed to adhere.
Although July 1 doesn't always fall conveniently on a Monday, nevertheless our GME Resident Agreements ("Contracts") still contain a July 1 starting date for most programs.
Some programs have opted to begin one week early (Internal Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Otolaryngology, Urology, some Med/Peds and some IM/EM), and one (Ob/Gyn) begins two weeks early.  The starting dates for those programs will be either June 24 or June 17, respectively.
Please remember that we don't "float" the starting dates to the closest Monday every year.
